What is the deal with after the fight, it seemed like the Corner was reluctant to give him the Irish Flag, and then the Ref or official walked behind him after he won while he was holding it and and pointed himto the winner circle but tried to grab/cover up the flag, and Connor jogged away from him..... Connor also Jerked the Flag away from his Corner.....

I don't think I've ever disagreed with you, goat, but I don't find Diaz and Anderson even remotely close when it comes to in-ring attitudes. Silva's appears to come from supreme confidence in his abilities and he invariably proves it. Nick and Nate, not so much. While their skills are impressive, there's more bluster in the Diaz attitude - Silva has none of that for me.

I feel like Nick Diaz gets an awfully bad rep. I see his attitude coming more from anger and a desire to fight and prove himself. Silva, on the other hand, is cocky.. plain and simple. He should be, he is a complete monster and the best fighter in the world, but lets not sugar coat it just because hes skilled.

It'd mark his second fight in just three weeks. His most recent, in which he stopped Marcus Brimage in the first round, came at featherweight. This one would come at lightweight for the Irish fighter, who previously held 145- and 155-pound titles with the U.K.-based Cage Warriors promotion.

UFC 159 takes place April 27 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. The Proctor fight is slotted for the FX-televised prelims, which precede the night's pay-per-view main card.

McGregor's win over Brimage, which came in quick and efficient fashion (in just 67 seconds) at Stockholm's Ericsson Globe Arena, marked his ninth consecutive win overall. All have come via stoppage, including seven in the first round. The 24-year-old has said his goal is to hold both the lightweight and featherweight UFC titles.

Iaquinta recently posted a runner-up finish on "The Ultimate Fighter 15" after a loss to Michael Chiesa. He hasn't fought since that June 2012 fight while recovering from a knee surgery.

Its a step down to fight a guy 0-1, but it'd be a fun fight and I'd like to see it. Give him the fight, he's obviously not taken any damage at all in his last one so why not?

Iaquinta gets cut, he gets money faster and possibly a ko bonus, more publicity and almost a guareenteed win with Al's style being bread n butter for McGregor.... Just sucks that Iaquinta has no say in the matter lmao...
